Step 5 Make Chain Links and Solder

If you have pre-made chain links that are the right size, great! Stick 'em in, bend the shut, and you're good to go! For the rest of us, though, we'll need to make our own chain links.

Cut two pieces of wire a few centimeters long to become the chain links. You'll need more if you have more paper, but always try to get a little more that you think you might need. You can cut some off, but you can't cut it back on. (That'd be strange.)

Bend the wires into circular shapes, but leave the gap big enough so you can put them through the floppy disks and paper.

Put the open chain links through the whole thing. It'll be easier if you leave the clamps in place to hold everything together.

Bend the wires shut and shape them so that they are more circular. Solder the wires together, and you're done! Try not to have the chain links too big, or everything will move around too much, and don't make them too small, or nothing will move very well.
